  • The Politics of Care: Glasgow and the UK's Dispersal

    The Politics of Care: Glasgow and the UK's Dispersal

    The Politics of Care: Glasgow and the UK’s Dispersal Policy Who Belongs Where: Controlling Movement and Settlement Word Count: 18, 733 By Stephanie Murphy Supervised by Darshan Vigneswaran University of Amsterdam Msc Political Science 1 Abstract Today we are witnessing a collective action problem between European states who are unable to manage immigration and asylum. In response, this thesis reflects on the role of urban spaces in reimagining narratives of acceptance. In the majority, EU states are reacting to the demands for sanctuary with hard borders, a pejorative discourse and ultimately the avoidance of responsibility. This is not only leading to an unproductive, but an immoral system with the value of human life lost. In light of this stalemate I turn to the urban level and discuss the role of local actors in challenging state decision-making, alongside the perceived trade-off between interests and ideas. I specifically focus on the case of Glasgow which stands out as a extreme example of asylum acceptance, taking far more than its fair share as a voluntary dispersal city under the UK’s asylum dispersal policy. By engaging with descriptive statistics, document analysis and semi-structured interviews I explore the interconnected factors which produce Glasgow’s high level of acceptance. In doing so I outline how the current theoretical framework is insufficient in explaining the complexities of acceptance beyond a zero-sum dialogue. I conclude by outlining how Glasgow’s position as a dispersal site has been maintained by an array of conceptual and normative factors which overtime have entrenched a ‘culture of care’ in the city.

  • Macmillan @ Glasgow Libraries

    Macmillan @ Glasgow Libraries

    Macmillan @ Glasgow Libraries January 2018 - December 2018 Macmillan @ Glasgow Libraries is built on the energy, drive and commitment of its people. Its volunteers, its staff team, and its stakeholders. All of which continued to demonstrate incredible contributions throughout the past year, making 2018 another ground breaking year of activity and achievement. Upon inception we challenged ourselves with creating a service which was accessible, quality assured, and relevant to anyone affected by cancer, including patients families, friends and carers. We wanted to ensure that our Welcome volunteers were at the absolute heart of everything that we do. Fast forward to today, and we have witnessed over 15,500 attendances, with almost 50% of those family members, friends and carers. An incredible statistic which demonstrates the absolute need for a holistic approach to support people who are affected by cancer. Volunteers have made all of this possible by donating 40,000 hour of their time to support people in the community. I have ran out of superlatives to describe the role our volunteers play, and the profound affect that they have on so many of our service users. Quite simply, they are amazing! Our volunteer programme has been acknowledged as best practice—both locally and nationally—and it had lead us to an exciting new era. In September 2018 we entered in to a new funding agreement with Macmillan Cancer Support, which will see Glasgow Life develop a centralised programme of Macmillan volunteering opportunities, the first of its kind in the UK. We will utilise the existing skills, knowledge, experience and networks built by Macmillan @ Glasgow Libraries to support partners to develop volunteer programmes of their own.
